Seeing all the posts from their hunt for the best old fashioned left me with a craving. Home I went planning to craft one.

However, I got home last night and remembered “I just got that brand new bottle of Ron Zacapa!” It had been too long since I’d served that delicious sweet nectar over a rock, so I changed my plan a bit. I’d already made a Ron Zacapa before, so thought I would mix it up a bit and go for my favorite brother cocktail to the Old Fashioned; A Monte Carlo cocktail. With this I used Fee Brother’s Orange Bitters and also added in 1/3 oz of Cynar. It was quite delicious.
